The Department of Education (DepEd) Region III confronts educational issues and challenges
brought about by COVID-19 as it moves forward through Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) with
“Sulong Edukalidad” battle cry.

LCP is DepEd Region III’s response to health, well-being, and other safety protocols for
learners, teachers, and personnel in ensuring that education progresses through appropriate
modes of learning amidst pandemic where no one is spared.

As DepEd Region III embraces blended learning as the main mode of learning, the modular
approach promises to be an efficient and effective modality that students and teachers can
make use of.

Under DepEd's printed modular learning system, students shall be provided with self-learning
materials (SLMs) for all subject areas per quarter while not discounting online, radio, television,
and broadcast media as other suitable learning and teaching modalities options.

While quality assured Self-Directed Learning Modules for Special Programs in the Arts (SPA)
are yet to release from the DepEd Central Office, DepEd RO III has taken the initiative to
develop contextualized SPA Modules.

The Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD), through education supervisors,
select writers from SPA implementers across Schools Division Offices of Region III, sought
technical help and support from National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA) artists and
experts to develop, validate, and finalize contextualized SPA modules for Region III learners.

The forgoing module is one of the several outputs on the conduct of series of Write shops on
the Development, Validation, and Finalization of Learning Modules of Special Programs in the
Arts (SPA) for the 3rd and 4th, specifically for the first phase on February 15-19 and 22-26,
2021 and the second phase on April 26-30, 2021.

Said modules are developed based on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)
identified by DepEd. Select SPA coordinators and writers led the writing of the modules that
went beyond the schedules of said webinars. It is also noteworthy to mention that the NCCA
experts and artists went out of their time and busy schedules just to extend technical support
to validate and quality assure the said modules.

Should there be any mistake, error, misrepresentation found in the foregoing module,
suggestions for corrections and improvements are welcome gestures. The public is ensured
of immediate and prompt action to correct such errors and inform those areas affected.

This contextualized module implores the Fair Use Policy as it is intended for educational use
and not for any commercial purpose or intent; hence, the sources are properly quoted,
mentioned, and referred to in this material for copyright and credit reference.

Parents, guardians, and those who wish to help improve this material or those who believe that
